“The greatest challenge in colour design is to be able to predict and control the result of colour scheme. Effective colour selection can be an inexpensive yet powerful element in design.”
(P. Jonathan, 1994)

The aim of this module is to provide students with knowledge and skills to understand and apply basic principles of colour theory in Interior Design. The module emphasises on the study of visual phenomena in the field of Interior Design, where students develop and apply different colour theories to interior spaces.

TEACHING STRATEGIES:

Through practical exercise the students gain an understanding of colour and how to successfully use it in order to control its effects in any interior setting. Colour can perform a multitude of roles, as well as affect human emotions, energy levels, and sense of order and disorder. It can set the tone of an interior, make it feel formal or informal, masculine, or feminine, cold or warm.

The program consists of theory based lectures and project based assessment.
